How can it create a mirror if there's nothing to > mirror *to*? upto CentOS-5 the installer will create a raid-1 with sync-delayed set, which allows the installer to finish the install and reboot fairly quickly. It does however create some interesting situations if one was to lose a disk soon after install, and if it was the first member of the setup :) good news is that this function is now gone in newer anaconda's. so installing with 2x2TiB disks is expected to take between 3 to 3.5 hrs. - KB
